I'd like to try one of those tests sometime, since half of my genetic makeup is a mystery beyond "probably caucasian of some sort." (Well, and probably the source of artistic talent as that sure didn't come from my bio mom or get taught to me by my parents.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's weird to me that msbelle's results combine French and German, and actually makes me think it's really not worthwhile for me! I'm sure I'm more than half British Isles, most of the rest French and German.

We are NPR nerds here, right? In addition to Hamilton? One of the people I was out with last night told me her friend was interviewing Christopher Jackson last night. I was like, "Who is your friend????" Turns out, it's Gene Denby (they were RAs together!), and he was only doing it because Linda Holmes got sick. We all agreed we'd have to be damn sick to skip out on Christopher Jackson. In short: !!!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm headed off to the class I said might take. Starting to panic a little.

That looks interesting, Tom! Lots of calm thoughts headed your way.

Walter's was the one that was surprising since absolutely everyone was sure he was a Border Collie mix and he turned out to be German Shorthaired Pointer with nonstandard coloring and too long hair.
Ah! I had friends who have a rescue & were told it was Australian Shepherd and Beagle, and it's DNA turned out to be Siberian Husky, Springer Spaniel and some European breed they'd never heard of.
It would be interesting to do the DNA test to know how much Mi'kmaq there actually is in our family and if there's anything else besides French and Irish. I want to buy one for my sister for XMas, but they are crazy expensive.
Turns out, it's Gene Denby (they were RAs together!), and he was only doing it because Linda Holmes got sick.
I think he's my favourite PCHH fourth chair, though I mostly love them all.
Speaking of PCHH, I have been listening to the podcast My Dad Write a Porno on their recommendation, and it is so so funny. Definitely Buffistas would love it.
My plans for this weekend are entirely different than what they were Thursday. My parents are coming up to visit my aunt who is in the hospital, so that's thrown everything into disarray. Besides that, a friend was planning a combined birthday celebration...since there are 4 of us who have birthdays within a week of each other, but that got postponed, and I have to find time to prepare for this big, scary interview on Monday. YIkes!.
